The Body and Systems
My Human Body Systems booklet
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| delivers oxygen and removes waste throughout the body | red blood cells |
| helps the body defend against infectious diseases as part of the immune system | white blood cells |
| carries information from one area of the body to another area through electrical impulses | nerve cells |
| serves in the processes of bone formation and bone decay | bone cells |
| this type of muscle can be found within the walls of organs: lungs, stomach, heart, esophagus, intestines, etc. | involuntary muscle cells |
| responsible for making the organs work; these muscles work without you having to do anything | involuntary muscle cells |
| responsible for movement and posture; you must consciously decide to use these muscles | voluntary muscle cells |
| the cells that make up the outer covering of the body | skin cells |
| protects our bodies | skin cells |
| this organ is, pinkish, squishy, and spongy ; located in the head | brain |
| this organ interprets what you are tasting, smelling, seeing, hearing, thinking, dreaming, breathing, and etc. | brain |
| these are thin threads that conduct electrical impulses throughout the body | nerves (nerve cells) |
| sends electrical impulses to the brain and spinal cord when you are moving, running, sleeping, laughing, singing, remembering, etc | nerves |
| the________ ________ is a thick cord of nerves that runs through the spine | spinal cord |
| receives neural signals and sends messages to the brain and the rest of the body to do things | spinal cord |
| made up of your brain, spinal cord, and an enormous network of nerves | nervous system |
| the bones and joints make up this system which allows you to stand and move | skeletal system |
| bones make this up; can be found throughout the entire body; function is movement and support of the body | skeleton |
| this protective tissue makes up the nose and ears | cartilage |
| connecting point between two bones | joints |
| allows parts of the body to move and bend (ex. in the wrists and ankles) | joints |
| organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles | muscular system |
| also known as skeletal muscle; we control the contractions of these muscles | voluntary |
| although we consciously control these muscles, we may also control them on a subconscious level (ex. diaphragm) | voluntary |
| this type of muscle can be found in your heart and lungs; it is controlled subconsciously | involuntary |
| the type of muscles that helps pump blood and digest food | involuntary |
| the system that contains the heart, arteries, and veins that pump blood throughout the body | circulatory system |
| the ________ is a muscular organ in both humans and animals that pumps blood | heart |
| pumps blood throughout your body | heart |
| bright red vessels throughout the whole body | arteries |
| _______ carry oxygen, rich blood throughout your body and allows you to feed your pulse | arteries |
| blue vessels throughout the body | veins |
| ______ carry oxygen, poor blood back to the heart | veins |
| responsible for body movement | muscle tissue |
| _________ _________ consists of involuntary muscle cells(organs);voluntary muscle cells(to move the skeleton) | muscular tissue |
| the tissue of the blood and bones | connective tissue |
| ___________ ___________consists of bone cells; red blood cells and white blood cells | connective tissue |
| transmits messages throughout the body from the brain through the spinal cord; consists of nerve cells | nervous tissue |
| the tissue of the skin, outer coverings. and the lining of the organs; example: skin cells | epithelial tissue |
| formed by tissues working together; organs in an animals body perform major functions that keep the animals alive(ex. heart, kidney, liver); organs working together creates systems | organs |
| transports oxygen nutrients, and wastes through the body in the blood; major parts: heart and blood | circulatory system |
| the process of breathing which enables your cells to get oxygen; contains lungs, nose, and trachea (windpipe) | respiratory system |
| organization of your bones to provide support for your body and protect many of your internal organs; major parts are bones, tendons(attach muscles to bones), ligaments(attach bones to bones), cartilage(connective tissue) (ex. tip of nose and tips) | skeletal system |
| moves bones and holds your skeleton upright; major parts muscles(voluntary) tendons(attach bones to muscles) | muscular system |
| provides nutrients to your cells so they can produce energy; major parts: mouth/saliva, esophagus: tube that leads to stomach, small and large intestines, stomach, liver and pancreas: provides liquids that breaks down foods and neutralize acid | digestive system |
